Of a 13 game win streak under Klinsmann. That included a dominant run through the Gold Cup where they won all six matches they played by a combined score of 20-4. They went on to win the Hex, earning 22 points.

Firing Klinsmann was the right move, but I don't understand the need or desire to shit all over him. We had plenty of great moments with Klinsmann, and he's handled his firing very well in the media.

Also, lest we forget...Arena has had his share of highs and lows:

Kinda like Charlie Weis, huh? *

No, Klinsmann actually won something

And he got the US to make program investments that will pay long-term dividends.

We can agree The Hawaii Bowl...

is not as significant as a Gold Cup (assuming you're talking about JK's coaching not playing career). I'm actually surprised by some replies in this thread. I didn't shit all over JK. I said I feel better now than when JK was pulling formations out his ass. That was not an uncommon sentiment around here in JK's waning days. I have always liked JK, most especially as a player. But I was pleased as shit to see him lose the reins of the USMNT.
